Email Notifications for Build Insights

Stay updated with Build Insights email notifications.

You can configure the Build Insights email to receive an email after each build is completed. The email contains a quick snapshot of each build run, including the following:

• Build Metadata (Status, Duration, Git Commit, CI Job ID, and more)
• Test Status Breakdown (Number of Tests, Passed, Failed, Skipped)
• Smart Test Statuses (New Failures, Always Failing, Flaky Tests, Muted Tests)
• Failure Categories (Breakdown of tests by Failure Categories with Smart Failure Analysis)

Clicking the email content will take you to the Build Insights view on Test Reporting & Analytics so you can start debugging. Test Reporting & Analytics lets you choose which builds to include in the Build Insights emails.

Configuring Build Insights email notifications

You can configure email notifications at the Project level.

Project level

1. You can subscribe or unsubscribe yourself or add others to notifications at Settings > Notifications. Alternatively, you can click the kebab menu on the top-right of Build Insights page.
2. Switch on the toggle in the top right. If this toggle is switched off, email notifications will be disabled for the project.
3. Click Add to add yourself or other BrowserStack users to the list of users. This list is unique for each project.
4. Click the gear icon against a user to update the email notification settings.

5. Switch on Build Insights. In the checkbox that opens, you can choose All Builds or Specific Builds. You have further configuration options to choose from in Build Insights.

User email preferences

Users can disable notifications or unsubscribe from email notifications in the user preferences.

1. Click Integrations on the sidebar, and click Configure next to Email.
2. In the Manage subscriptions window, click the Configure option against Build Insights to configure your email settings.
3. In the Build Insights configuration, you can switch the toggle button on or off against each project.
   
4. Click Save to save your configuration.

If a user disables the check boxes next to Build Insights, they will not receive any emails until they re-enable them.

Troubleshooting if you aren’t receiving any emails

If you are not receiving any Build Insights emails despite being added to a project and subscribed to Build Insights emails via the Settings > Notifications, you need to check your user email preferences.

Head to Integrations, and click Configure next to Email.

Ensure that the check box next to Build Insights is marked. If this is not checked, you will not receive any emails despite them being configured in the project-level settings.
